I found this visit to be the best eye doctor visit I've ever had. Very up to date technology. Great staff. Really, it couldn't have gone better.

We got great parking, the office wifi didn't work (not a big deal), the wait was short, the check-in process super easy, the office staff was great and the actual exam ran pretty smooth. I was in and out pretty quickly.

Loved Dr. Whitman and the staff, but the wait was ridiculous! I was there at the office waiting for an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment before I saw the doctor!
